The panel on "The Five" reacted to recent statements by House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) that she will remain the caucus' leader and that Democrats will retake the House of Representatives in November.

"We will win. I will run for Speaker. I feel confident about it," Pelosi, 78, said.

Greg Gutfeld said Pelosi's statements and the portion of support she is receiving shows "there's absolutely no new thinking in the Democratic Party."

"The ghosts of failures past still haunt their party," Gutfeld said, adding that party chairman Tom Perez has also been recently criticized for his statements.

Pelosi has served in Congress representing San Francisco since 1987, and was previously politically active in her home state of Maryland, where her father, Thomas D'Alesandro Jr., served as mayor of Baltimore.

Fox News contributor Andrew McCarthy said Wednesday on "Outnumbered Overtime" that a report claiming President Trump asked if a U.S. attorney could lead the probe into Michael Cohen despite his recusal is "all wind and no rain."
